Setting Our Intentions Deliberately on Women with Intention Wednesday

Set Your Intentions Deliberately

So we’re at the beginning of a new month, and a third of the way through 2017 already! I thought I would repeat a post from the beginning of the year to see where we’re at regarding setting or establishing our direction intentionally, not just with a “whatever will be will be” attitude. It also fits well with this being Women with Intention Wednesday, which I blogged about on my other blog (check it out HERE). 🙂

The older I get, the more I discover I need to be structured and deliberate in my actions. It’s challenging dealing with the “here for” issue. You know, you walk into a room and suddenly can’t remember what you came in here for! If you don’t know what I mean, then you are blessed and don’t suffer from brain fog! 😉

So I have to make lists, use color-coded notecards, use the “S Note” feature on my cell phone or set reminders with notifications, and/or hang sticky notes, all to make sure I don’t forget important things. Some of the details on these lists and within notes are the things I intend to do each day in a structured or scheduled order; seeing them written down helps me set the direction or plan for the day, as I can reflect on them or refer back to them.

“Decide on where you’re going and how it’ll be for you – and it’ll happen.

Set your intention first. Make it clear that you’re going to have a great time, you’ll meet some fantastic people, and that it’s going to be wonderful.

Set your general intention every morning and every night, too. The brighter and more positive, the better.

Set your sunny intention – and you will be happy.” — Karl Moore

“Whether you think you can or you can’t,

you’re right.”

– Henry Ford

My Reflections

While I know for sure things happen to derail our good intentions and direction for a day, since we really have no control over some things, I think the overall concept here is good. I definitely feel happier when I have a plan and get things done on any given day.

I also like Henry Ford’s simple quote: “Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.” Simple, yet powerful!

So What Are YOUR Thoughts?

How do you feel about setting your intentions deliberately?

Have you experienced the truth of setting your direction for the day (week, month, year) intentionally and seeing good results?
